Why this one stays private

A video is the file you least want to upload, and the one most likely to carry the place it was recorded. This takes the location out without the clip ever leaving your computer.

Questions

Does this work with MP4 files?

Yes - that is what this page is set up for. MP4 is what Android phones record, with the location in its header.

Does it re-encode the video?

No. The metadata is overwritten inside the file and everything else is copied across as it was, so there is no quality loss, the sound stays, and even a long clip takes seconds.

What is removed?

The location, the recording date, the make and model of the phone or camera, the software, titles, comments and names, and timed GPS or telemetry tracks.
